Number Of The Beast Lyrics - Tribute To The Gods - Iced Earth

"Woe to you, oh Earth and sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath 

Because he knows the time is short 

Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast 

For it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty six" 

I left alone my mind was blank 

I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind 

What did I see can I believe that what I saw 

That night was real and not just fantasy 

Just what I saw 

In my old dreams were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me 

'Cause in my dreams 

It's always there 

The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair 

Yeah 

The night was black was no use holding back 

'Cause I just had to see was someone watching me 

In the mist dark figures move and twist 

Was all this for real or some kind of hell 

Six six six the number of the Beast 

Hell and fire was spawned to be released 

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised 

As they start to cry hands held to the sky 

In the night the fires burning bright 

The ritual has begun Satan's work is done 

Six six six the number of the beast 

Sacrifice is going on tonight 

This can't go on I must inform the law 

Can this still be real or some crazy dream 

But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes 

They seem to mesmerize me can't avoid their eyes? 

Six six six the number of the Beast 

Six six six the one for you and me 

I'm coming back I will return 

And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn 

I have the fire I have the force 

I have the power to make my evil take it's course
